Attend a board meeting
No, not an excruciating one laced with corporate jargon that makes you want to spell it as ‘b-o-r-e-d’. We’re talking about Circuit X Skateboarding School, where your little ones can explore the fun world of skateboarding under the guidance of expert instructors. They’ll be able to pick up safety practices, board control, balance techniques and park etiquette. Equipment provided.

Explore a cool activation by Casablanca
This striking activation brings an immersive retail experience to Hudayriyat Island’s Ilios Beach Club all the way until February 7, and you’ll want to experience it for several reasons including how it is inspired by tennis and the essence of Casablanca’s DNA. It also features a specially-created menu including langoustine pasta and wagyu beef, while the juice bar serves refreshing blends such as the Butterfly Matcha. See it to believe it.
